Lou Fengyun shook her head and said softly, "Few neighbors are willing to buy Western medicine; the price is too high."

"Let Wenwen and my mother manage the pharmacy business. In the next few days, could you help me look around North Point and see if any factories are interested in taking over? Also, could you help me recruit some female workers in advance? I'm planning to open a wig factory. After I teach you how to produce wigs, you can manage the factory and supervise the workers' production. I have other things to do and don't have time to supervise the production in the factory." Song Tianyao put his hands behind his head and turned his head to say to Lou Fengyun.

Lou Fengyun lowered her head, hummed in agreement, and fell silent. Song Tianyao noticed that the woman seemed uninterested and asked, "Is something on your mind?"

"You've been living with that woman for the past two months?" Lou Fengyun looked up and asked Song Tianyao.

Song Tianyao burst out laughing, "Sister Yun, compared to that woman you're talking about, you're far inferior in this kind of thing. Since Meng Wanqing got together with me, she's never asked me if I have other women, nor has she mentioned you. That's why I said that you always think you're smart, but you sometimes get stuck in a rut. You might have some cleverness, but most of the time, you're silly. Use your brain! It's not like you have to have slept with me to have a close relationship. Are you also wondering why, since she's always been with me and I spoil her so much, I don't hand over the factory to her? Let me tell you, she's not as good as you at this kind of business. Have you noticed that I haven't even said a word of thanks to you since I came back? Because you don't need it. You're someone close to me, Song Tianyao, so of course I won't be so polite as to let you distance yourself. You're overthinking it. If you're worried, come on, I'm lying down. At worst, you can have the last drop of the pampering tonight?"

As he spoke, Song Tianyao lay sprawled on the bed and addressed Lou Fengyun.

"Tch." Lou Fengyun was both angry and amused by Song Tianyao's final tone. She wanted to speak again but felt that Song Tianyao had already said everything she wanted to ask. Just then, Zhao Meizhen came in with a glass of cold tea. Before she could scold Song Tianyao, a voice rang out from outside the door. "Is Secretary Song here? I'm Lam Kong from Wan Chai Police Station. Sergeant Hung Xiong sent me to see you! Scribe Hui is in trouble."

Song Tianyao jumped out of bed, cursing, "How did that Scribe Hui manage to be called a scumbag even though he's all over Kowloon and the New Territories? I can still call him a damn loser in Hong Kong Island!"

Chapter 216: Smiling Flattery and Playing the Ruthless.

The newest arrival at the pier was Lui Lok, who had recently been transferred from Sham Shui Po Police Station to Sai Kung Police Station due to the Yan Hung incident.

Lui Lok's hatred for Yan Hung can be described as deep-rooted. It's not that he's jealous of Yan Hung, but rather that Yan Hung's recent actions have caused him to be innocently implicated.

Yan Hung was reinstated and even promoted to Senior Detective Sergeant after Chu Xiaoxin praised him for his role in combating crime and his exemplary conduct as Police Force officer, and with Song Tianyao's intervention, he only paid Hong Kong dollars 150,000 to the Police Force Foreign Devil.

Mong Kok is one of the four major police stations in Kowloon, comparable to the Tai Wong Tau Police Stations in Sheung Wan, Central, Lower Wan and Sai Wan on Kowloon Hong Kong Island. Although Liu Fu and Lai Man-yau dared not act because of Chu Xiaoxin's popular Justice of the Justice of the Peace title, they could not suffer losses for nothing.

Since Yan Hung forced me, Liu Fu, to hold my nose and promote you, I can't give up my efforts for nothing. I have to get the benefits back from others. So, Lui Lok, the Detective Sergeant at the Sham Shui Po police station who was eager to follow Detective Chief Inspector Chan Lap and take over, was transferred by Liu Fu directly from the big police station in Sham Shui Po to the less lucrative Sai Kung police station. His position Detective Sergeant at the Sham Shui Po police station was taken over by Lai Man-yau's trusted subordinate from Dongguan Liu Fu.

Lui Lok suffered an undeserved misfortune. Strictly speaking, Lui Lok was from Haifeng. Although he was close to Chiu Chow, he was not considered Chiu Chow people. It was just that Liu Fu couldn't find a suitable person to compensate Lai Man-yau, so he had to give up his position Detective Sergeant at the Sham Shui Po police station and place Lai Man-yau's men under him to appease him, thus sending Lui Lok to the Sai Kung police station.

Although he temporarily lost power within the Police Force, Lui Lok's status in the underworld remained quite high. Lui Lok is now a Big-Time Tycoon the older Big Brother of Wo Shing Wo, and the son-in-law of the big boss Choi Jianwen -man, nicknamed Zhe Gu Cai. Choi Kin-man's only daughter, Choi Chun, was betrothed to Choi Jianwen Lui Lok, and Choi Jianwen even said at his daughter's wedding that as long as Lui Lok put in the effort, he would help his son-in-law become Senior Detective Sergeant within two years, and find an opportunity to buy Lui Lok a Detective Chief Inspector chief position within four years.

So although Lui Lok is no longer considered a disciple of the He-prefix gangs gang, he holds a high position among the He-prefix gangs members. Even the most prominent and unruly figures in the Wo Tze Tau gang, such as Handkerchief Qing, Heizai Jie, Heizai Yiu, Shar Pei Dog, and Chu Yau-chai He-prefix gangs, now respectfully address Lui Lok as Brother Lok.

He was playing cards with some colleagues he wanted to win over at the Sai Kung police station tonight when a friend of his called from the Mong Kok Police Station, saying that Yan Hung had brought men to the Sai Kung Pier under Lui Lok's jurisdiction and brought opium, seemingly to frame him. That's why he rushed over.

Seeing Lui Lok approach him with a smile on his face, but his tone questioning whether he had overstepped his bounds by coming from Mong Kok to Sai Kung to cause trouble in his territory, Yan Hung scratched his face and said with a forced smile, "A-Lok, I'm a Senior Detective Sergeant, and you're Detective Sergeant. Are you questioning your superior now?"

Lui Lok's smile faltered for a moment, but then returned, as if that was the only expression on his face. "Brother Hung, you've been really impressive lately. Many of the Police Force officers want to transfer to the Mong Kok Police Station to work with you. You're known for helping your fellow Police Force, so why would you blame me for saying the wrong thing? Do you have to be so ruthless and make things tense?"

"Everyone's wearing this tiger skin, and I don't want to make things difficult for you, but that Handkerchief Qing hit my boss's men. If I don't work for my boss, what am I supposed to do? You teach me, okay?" Before Yan Hung gained power, he had always envied Lui Lok, but now that he had his current status and position, he looked at Lui Lok with a smile in front of him with some disdain.

Hearing that Handkerchief Qing had assaulted one of Yan Hung's men, Lui Lok felt a pang of bitterness. Lately, he had been emulating Yan Hung, cultivating relationships with He-prefix gangs. He had good relations with a group of ruthless figures from the Wo Cheung triad, including Handkerchief Qing, Heizai Jie, Heizai Yiu Shar Pei Dog, Chu Yau-chai. Some even followed his lead in Sai Kung out of respect for his father-in-law, Zhe Gu Cai. If he didn't protect Handkerchief Qing, those He-prefix gangs members he had befriended would inevitably distance themselves from him for his perceived lack of loyalty. However, if he did protect Handkerchief Qing, he would fall out with Yan Hung now and offend the Justice of the Peace Yan Hung Peace behind him. Lui Lok didn't have the confidence to do so, even though he felt the Justice of the Peace might not intervene over such a trivial matter.
